  • Roy Ngerng: Please Donate And Help Me Pay Damages

    Roy Ngerng: Please Donate And Help Me Pay Damages

    Hello everyone, this is an update to the defamation suit with the prime minister.

    I have to pay a total of S$180,000. (I have to pay him S$150,000 in damages and S$30,000 for the costs of the hearing.)

    (1) I have to pay S$30,000 by this Wednesday.
    (2) From April 1, I have to pay $100 every month for 5 years.
    (3) After 5 years, from 2021, I have to pay $1,000 every month until I finish paying.

    I would like to thank lawyer Eugene Thuraisingam and his colleagues for helping me reach this settlement. I am very grateful to them.

    These 2 years since I was sued hasn’t been easy. There have been ups and downs.

    I am just glad that it started a conversation on the CPF and some enhancements were made to the CPF.

    But I have learnt some lessons as well. I should have been careful with how I say things. I am thankful to have reached the settlement with the prime minister.

    I hope to have a fresh start. I have been looking for a job and doing freelance photography. I hope to be able to find a job and make use of my work experience and skills in an area that I could make good use of. I miss contributing effectively to make positive change.

    After the last election, a choice was made. I hope that this will be one that will put the country in the right direction. People choose what they are ready for.

    Finally, I would like to thank everyone who have supported me over these years. Thank you for believing in me. I did what I could. And I am glad that somehow, we were able to make a difference.

    Also, I would like to thank my parents and my family. I wouldn’t have been able to get through this without them. At a time where I had even lost friends, they have been an unwavering pillar of support.

    I hope this marks an end to a chapter and hope that we can move on from here.

    If you would like to help to defray the costs, you can also fund raise to the bank account at POSB Savings Bank Account 130-23068-7 (Ngerng Yi Ling).

    Thank you once again.

  • Roy Ngerng To Pay Lee Hsien Loong Damages In Installments Over 17 Years

    Roy Ngerng To Pay Lee Hsien Loong Damages In Installments Over 17 Years

    Blogger Roy Ngerng will pay S$100 a month for five years, and S$1,000 a month subsequently in damages awarded to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for defamation until the full sum of S$150,000 is paid.

    In a hearing on Monday morning (March 14) to assess the damages, the lawyers of Mr Ngerng and Mr Lee reached a settlement in relation to the terms of payment of the judgement sum, Mr Ngerng’s lawyer Eugene Thuraisingam told TODAY.

    Mr Thuraisingam said both sides had agreed late last week on terms to settle the costs payable (S$30,000) for the assessment of damages hearing, which Mr Ngerng has to pay by Wednesday.

    No interest would need to be paid if Mr Ngerng makes each payment on time, said Mr Thuraisingam, who is acting on a pro bono basis. “In the event that he breaches the terms of the agreement (i.e fails to make any one of the payments), the full amount outstanding plus Court Judgment interest will be immediately payable,” the lawyer added in an email reply.

    It would take 17 years for Mr Ngerng to pay the damages in full.

    In December last year, a High Court judge ordered Mr Ngerng to pay Mr Lee S$150,000 for alleging that the latter had criminally misappropriated Central Provident Fund monies. While past defamation cases involving Prime Ministers have attracted damages in excess of S$300,000, Justice Lee Seiu Kin said a “substantial reduction” in this case was warranted, given the blogger’s “comparatively low standing”.

    Mr Ngerng had earlier been found guilty of defaming Mr Lee, and in a three-day hearing in July to assess damages, Mr Lee’s lawyer Davinder Singh made the case for “substantial damages” to be awarded. The case stands out for the “depth and intensity” of Mr Ngerng’s malice towards Mr Lee and his resolve to damage Mr Lee’s reputation, thus warranting a “very high award of damages”, Mr Singh had said.

    In response to media queries, Mr Lee’s press secretary Chang Li Lin confirmed that Mr Ngerng “had asked to be let off by paying only S$36,000 out of the costs plus S$150,000 in damages”. “The PM had responded to say that (Mr Ngerng) had to discharge his entire debt, but that he was prepared to give (him) time to pay the S$150,000 by instalments, provided (he) paid the costs immediately,” Ms Chang said. Mr Ngerng agreed and this was recorded by the Court, she added.

  • Remembering Benjamin Lim And Dominique Sarron Lee At Hong Lim Park

    Remembering Benjamin Lim And Dominique Sarron Lee At Hong Lim Park

    A video we did for the two boys in yesterday’s memorial tribute.

    Thanks to Dolly Peh and Gilbert Louis who helped out tremendously at the event in heavy downpour.

    The three speakers Leong Sze Hian Zixu Augustin Lee and Timothy Toddall spoke beautifully for the boys.

    Special mention must be made to Jagjit Singh who set up the sound and light system in the rain. Some of his equipment is now defective due to the rain which has seeped in.

    Big thanks to the 100 brave souls who came and stayed on despite the rain. You guys rock!

    Many of you are emotional and some choked on your words as you said your personal tribute at the event.

    Let’s hope the family will find some comfort and closure with the memorial and that their death will not be in vain.

    Injustice must be opposed at all cost or else we are saying we accept it.

    RIP Benjamin and Dominique – you will be remembered.
